Spain v Scotland *** Official Match Thread ***

[Flair]

"Mackail-Smith loses out to Puyol and Pique", not something you hear everyday.

I can't help thinking England would look every bit as out of their depth against Spain, but then again this Spain squad is possibly the best squad the world has ever seen.

Possibly true, we can hardly boast that England are great but at the moment it's like watching a 3rd round FA Cup game between a Premier League team and a star struck non league side. All Scotland have is running and pluck.

And now the Czechs are winning too

I was thinking the same. We are nowhere near the Spanish in every respect

I feel sorry for CMS as Scotland are poor. Hoofing it won't work v Spain that's for sure.

I was thinking about the same. England would be out of their depth, but the Spanish are not the best time I have seen. Both their full backs still look vulnerable and the Spanish are almost playing 3-5-3. But the Scots have got to get the ball first. The Spanish long ball cross field passing to man is tremendous. Not much running with the ball.

England are playing Spain in a friendly soon, it will be the same.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

CMS is giving Puyol a run for his money.

 

[World of Sport]

Bannan is a f***ing joke!

 

[perseus]

Have Scotland got a winger on the bench?

 

[culvers]

Bannan is a f***ing joke!

Getting very angry when anything does anything wrong, but has been pretty terrible.

 

[Flair]

CMS outpaces Pique...

 

[Mendoza]

he is like Usain Bolt going down that wing

 

[Bozza]

They need to test CMS for dodgy substances after that run. Ben Johnson type pace there.

 

[pauli cee]

"mackail smith blurring past piquet", bloody love it!
"the shining light for scotland" bloody great!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

CMS MOTM for Scotland.
Worth £30m in my book.

For those that are still calling for a "target man", or want to play "more direct" then hope you are watching as this game gives you a clue as to what Poyet is trying to achieve at Brighton.

I don't like Bannon. Forrest? Just don't let a goal in just before half-time. Oh dear !!!

 

[Seagulls4life]

He is too fast! How do you think CMS would do in a 100m sprint with Ronaldo?

 

[Tory Boy]

Have Scotland touched the ball yet?

I think Scotland are playing quite well. Adam and Bannan look pretty capable in the middle and Morrison looks to have something about him. They need to get Fletcher into the game a bit more. CMS has done everything he could, playing against this type of opposition will do him the world of good. If Scotland played like this against us then they would win. Fact.
